Eight arrests at anti-immigration and counter protest, bbc.co.uk

Complaint

This article reported on a protest in Brighton against people entering the UK in small boats, organised by South East Patriots, and a counter-protest by Carnival Against Fascism.  A reader complained it reflected only the viewpoint of the latter.  The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the 91福利社鈥檚 editorial standards of impartiality.


Outcome

The article included comments critical of the South East Patriots protest by the Leader of the Brighton and Hove Council and a DJ playing at the counter-protest.  As it included nothing which reflected the viewpoint of South East Patriots, it did not meet the 91福利社鈥檚 standards of impartiality.

Upheld


Further action

The finding was reported to the management of 91福利社 England and discussed with the editorial team responsible.  The article has been amended in the light of the finding.
